First Graveyard Shift

Got back after my first night shift.
I'm glad I survived the long night.
As a new guy, there's pretty much nothing you're really useful for.
Moreover, it was a real peaceful night.

And so you lurk around to keep yourself occupy and awake.
You mingle around.
You ask questions.
You chit chat.
You go to the tea room to have your regular dose of caffeine.
You go to the smoking point for a smoke.
And then you head out into the unit again.
Up and down. Down and up.
You survived the silent hours.

That's graveyard shift for you.
That's how my first night shift went.

Warm up my car.
Skim through the traffic onto the highway.
Was doing hundred-and-ten on it.
Was back in hometown in fifteen.

Drop by hundred-sixty-three for a bowl of ke-kou-mee.
And shot up another strong dose of caffeine - kopi-c-ti-lo

Got home.
Suppose to play tennis.
Cancelled it in the end.

Decides to stay up till evening before i retire into my dreams.
While waiting
Switch on my laptop.
Log onto my blog.
Started writing my first night shift experience.

And so i concludes
it isn't as bad as i imagine it to be.
in fact it was pleasant. very pleasant.
